D-League

Good morning from ATX. Currently 48°F, cloudy with occasional light rain. Possibility for more precipitation until about noon. Looking at high of 59°F today.

Oh, man, Hogs kicked our butts at Rupp last night. Awful. Hogs shot much better, blocked more shots and stole more balls than our Cats. Just UGH!

Last night, I attended a get-together with my daughter and step-daughter plus current and former co-workers. Fine times. Ha ha, watched my daughter get a little tipsy. I even drank a non-alcoholic beer. It tasted really good. I'm just so blessed and lucky. My daughter flies out this morning. Her first visit to Austin since 2000 has been the best by far.

Chemo starts this morning. Gotta run

Wishing y'all a safe, enjoyable day.

Good Morning D

A nice day ahead with a current temperature of 54°. There will be sunshine all day as it gets to 81°. I enjoy this time of year most of all. Pool temperature is 85°

Still SMH over last nights game. We are not the same program we once were and you can see it in the face of the fans. They started leaving with 5 minutes left in the game and whole sections were empty in minutes. Hard to watch that.

I trust all are well and prayers for Austin as he begins treatment. The Lord knows he is a good man and we wish him and his family the best. Always.

Good morning everyone.

I had a good day yesterday. Well, til about 10 PM anyway. Dang, the Hogs just looked so much better than the Cats. I gave up at the 8 min mark and went to bed.

My wife had company yesterday so I went on a solo 8+ mile hike on the Pine Mtn Scenic Trail. I ended up with over 25,000 steps yesterday.

Wildlife Wednesday since a few have talked about elk. I have been to a few elk releases and helped with some catching/collaring. We've seen one bull from the house and we get a bull travel through our hunting lease every other year or so. The pic is from my lease. Pretty good bull 6x6

I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning D-League.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you start chemo today Austin.

Nothing to say about the Cats last night. Well, maybe one thing. I've been clinging to the idea this was a good team looking to find itself. I think the truth is it is just a mediocre team, poorly assembled, and what we've seen since November is who they are.

Hope you all have a good day.

Very nice. Where is that? Don't recall a FL beach with palm or any trees.

I will not comment on the Cats. They are in real danger of missing out on the NCAA.

Damn, you are one of the few people on this site I look forward to what you have to say post game...but I understand it was so ugly it's tough to talk about.

A few things I have to say, the second half was an abomination...our sloppiness with the ball in the first 4 to 5 minutes of the second half just gift wrapped them 8-10 points right out of the gate.

We cut it a few times to 5 or 6 points and every time they would score, we couldn't get stops. They were basically shooting nothing but layups. Whoever told Toppin he needs to shoot 17 footers or beyond is doing that kid and our team a disservice...his stat line doesn't look awful but I actually thought he was killing us at critical moments.

If you perform well you should be rewarded with more minutes, why would Collins stay here another year? Scores 7 points in 8 minutes and doesn't see the floor again...why work hard and try to improve if your coach is just going to play his favorites?

Fredrick played 21 minutes...0-4 from the field, no rebounds, one assist...it's not like he is a lock down defender...if he isn't hitting shots he is worthless out there. If he hits a 3 or two early on I might keep in there but most games he gives you nothing.

But the way we were playing defense none of that matters, they could easily get in the lane...throwing lobs, getting layups...that 2nd half was one of the worst defensive halves of Kentucky basketball I have ever seen.

Yes. But now that you ask, is it "Palm" Beach? i really don't know as haven't been there. It's not like I've vacationed in FL much, maybe 7-8 times.

I understand. Many people in America who come to Florida fly down to Orlando, go to Disney World and then fly back home. Everything they see is man made fantasy land.

Others fly to South Florida to the Miami and Ft Lauderdale area and all they experience is New York South and crowds of people wandering around. City people enjoy that.

The picture below is about 6 miles from my house and it is very wooded with no habitation.

Caladesi and Honeymoon Island are off the beaten path and you can lay back without the crowds and commercialism. No building is allowed on these islands. Florida has 1,350 miles of coast.

One of the most relaxing vacations I ever had was in Mexico Beach before it was demolished by Hurricane Michael.

My daughter and SIL have settled into their apartment in Huntsville AL and are liking the area. We plan to go down this weekend and visit. Does anyone who lives in or knows the area have any recommendations on restaurants, sites to see, etc?

When My Darling and I were there last, in 2015 or so I was not impressed with the amenities. May have changed... hopefully so. We have some good friends we were in Korea with that we talk to regularly that like it a bunch. Surely they have upgraded the "to do's" around the joint. Have a great time...
